Chapter 246: The Awkwardness of Identity
"Lord Qiu, what do you think should be done with this person?" , Peng Yue sat in front of the military tent marshal's case, although his face was calm, he couldn't suppress the anger in his heart. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
I saw a person tied up by five flowers, kneeling on the ground with his head down, it turned out that he was Li Wenliang, the guard of the high platform.
"My lord, this person is not able to defend the city, he escaped from the battle, he should be killed!" , Qiu Luan said quite resolutely.
"Lord Qiu is strict in governing the army, which makes me admire...", Peng Yue said with a sneer.
"Li Wenliang, let me ask you, why did you run away?" , Peng Yue looked angrily at the person kneeling on the ground.
"My lord, I... I also fought hard to defend the city, and many of my brothers were... Fight to the death...", Li Wenliang looked at Peng Yue with some trembling.
Peng Yue knew that he was not lying, and when he reached the high platform, he saw the corpses of many defenders, and the scene at the city gate told of a fierce battle that had taken place there.
"I know you fought hard to defend the city, but why did you lead the rest of the soldiers out of the city when the Tartars broke through it, abandoning the people?" , Peng Yue's eyes widened angrily.
"The number of enemy troops... Too much, and... Menacing...", Li Wenliang lowered his head, not daring to look at Peng Yue's eyes at all.
"That's why you abandoned the people and fled, bastard!" , Peng Yue picked up the bamboo tube on the handsome case and threw it at Li Wenliang, "When the enemy army enters the city, you won't lead your soldiers to fight in the streets?" Won't you hold on to the fork in the road, won't you continue to fight to the death and wait for reinforcements to arrive? ”
Peng Yue suddenly thought of the defense of Nanjing in the War of Resistance Against Japan, when the defenders had sworn to defend the city to the death, and the result was. In the end, he abandoned the city and fled, ignoring everyone. Then came the unforgettable Nanjing Massacre...
"My lord, because... Before the city was broken. Few can... Wait for the reinforcements to arrive...", Li Wenliang glanced at Qiu Luan with some fear, and hurriedly lowered his head.
Hearing Li Wenliang say this, Peng Yue didn't react yet, but Qiu Luan became angry, "You fucking fart!" When have I not sent reinforcements? As he spoke, he kicked Li Wenliang to the ground.
"Lord Qiu, don't be anxious." Peng Yue glared at Qiu Luan fiercely, "The body is not afraid of shadows, and he has never mentioned you in his words..."
Qiu Luan He couldn't hear the mocking tone in Peng Yue's words, but he didn't want to say anything more, so he just stared at Li Wenliang fiercely and stepped aside.
"Li Wenliang, can't you wait for reinforcements to come is the reason why you abandon the city?" , Peng Yue glanced at Qiu Luan faintly, "Besides, you also explained it in your words just now." It's not impossible to wait for reinforcements to arrive, right? ”
"Small... Little confession...", although Li Wenliang lowered his head, he clearly felt the murderous intent hidden in Peng Yue's cold words.
"Li Wenliang. You fought to defend the city... I saw it too, indeed... It's a success, and it shouldn't be erased...". Peng Yue's tone suddenly became tougher, "But you abandoned the city and left. You know... The people of the city... How much sin have you suffered? ”
"Li Wenliang, if I don't kill you. I'm afraid that in the future, the matter of abandoning the city and fleeing will continue to be prohibited. Moreover, I guess there will be no generals who will defend the city with all their strength in the future, because they all think that there will be a retreat to abandon the city and escape! There was also a hint of reluctance in Peng Yue's tone, "I know you are guarding the city... It's not easy, but you abandon the city because you're afraid of death! Generals don't hesitate to die, you know? ”
"Only by appointment, you can send a letter to the court and ask Li Wenliang to correct the law. Then notify the border guards that those who abandon the city and flee in the future will be guilty of the same crime as Li Wenliang! ”
After Peng Yue finished speaking, the two soldiers dragged Li Wenliang down, Li Wenliang still wanted to defend something, but when he saw Peng Yue's cold expression, he also lost his courage.
"Lord Qiu, this time you led the army to rescue and won a complete victory, how should this credit be counted?" , Peng Yue spoke, but did not raise his eyes to look at Qiu Luan.
"Master Peng, this time I was able to win, it is all the work of Lord Peng, I dare not take the lead merit...", Qiu Luan said in a sneer.
"Then Li Wenliang is not effective in defending the city, what should he do?" , Peng Yue sneered and glanced at Qiu Luan.
"Master Peng... What does this mean? When Qiu Luan heard Peng Yue's words, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, "Didn't your lord already bring Li Wenliang's crime to the court?" ”
"But I don't think Li Wenliang can be blamed entirely for the crime of not defending the city, I look at the high city wall... In disrepair, especially the city gate... I think it's time for this city wall to be repaired...", Peng Yue unhurriedly took a sip of the tea that was already a little cold on the handsome case.
"It's... There is a problem with this city wall, it's time to repair it...", Qiu Luan replied with a smile, not knowing what kind of medicine was sold in Peng Yue's gourd.
"I think what should be repaired, not only the walls of this high platform, but also the cities I see these days should be repaired well." , Peng Yue still didn't look at Qiu Luan.
"Yes, it should be cultivated...", Qiu Luan also faintly heard the meaning of Peng Yue's words at this moment, didn't he want to cut himself?
"I think it's not just the city wall that should be repaired, but also the weapons of the soldiers, the military uniforms of the soldiers, the spirit of the soldiers, and the hearts of the soldiers...", Peng Yue spoke, staring at Qiu Luan with a pair of eyes.
How could Qiu Luan not understand what Peng Yue meant now, and at this time, beads of sweat were already oozing from his forehead.
"Lord Peng, it is the dereliction of duty of the lower officials, and the lower officials are guilty...", Qiu Luan fell to his knees all of a sudden.
Suddenly, a somewhat messy footsteps came closer. I saw that the curtain of the camp tent was lifted slightly, and a little face with some panic came in, but for a moment, he quickly lowered the curtain, accompanied by a faint cry, reflected in Peng Yue's heart.
"Qingge...", Peng Yue was shocked and couldn't help but panic, "Why did she come here?" ”
Before Peng Yue could lower his head and think about it, Yu Guang caught a glimpse of Qiu Luan kneeling on the ground, remembering the faint cry just now, Peng Yue patted his head and secretly called himself stupid.
"Lord Qiu doesn't have to be like this...", Peng Yue hurriedly got up from his seat, walked up to Qiu Luan, and picked him up with a smile.
"Lord Qiu, why is this, is it because of the crime that Li Wenliang pleaded for the crime? I didn't have any other intentions just now, and I hope that Lord Qiu will not think about him! Peng Yue deliberately raised his voice, and then burst out laughing.
"I know, this military budget is a little tight...", Peng Yue said with a smile, "The sergeant Tuntian, he can only barely cope with the daily life, and this repair work needs to be allocated separately, but... Lord Qiu's border market trade is very prosperous, and I hope that these profits will be used for defense casting..."
Peng Yue was talking to Qiu Luan, and his eyes were patrolling at the door of the tent: Where did Qingge go? Don't be angry, you must look for her in a while...
Qiu Luan saw that Peng Yue suddenly changed his attitude, and he didn't know that it was his precious daughter's role, so he just wondered in his heart, but he couldn't ask more, so he could only say yes again and again.
"Lord Qiu, this Gaotai County will be garrisoned by Yang Bo first, what do you think?" , Peng Yue asked with a smile.
"Very good... Very good...", Qiu Luan couldn't say anything else at this time.
"Well, then I'm relieved...", Peng Yue smiled and walked back to the handsome case.
"Lord Qiu, I've been staying in Ganzhou for a long time, and I'm afraid I'm going back to Datong now. After all, I came here this time to order to eliminate border chaos, and the situation in Datong and Xuanfu is the most critical, so I still have to leave for Datong as soon as possible. ”
Peng Yue no longer had a smile on his face at this time, and there was a slight sigh in his tone. Yes, I just saw Qiu Qingge, and I can't wait to stay longer, how could I want to leave?
It's just that solving the chaos at the border is the most important thing, and I must let go of my personal feelings at this time. Moreover, I already have Yan Mengyun and Gu Wan'er, and I have some emotions, although I can't control them, but I really should accept them. After all, everyone is living, everyone is responsible, everyone is limited, and everyone is a little involuntarily.
"The adults have only been here for a few days, why don't you stay longer?" , Although Qiu Luan said this, he wished that Peng Yue would leave quickly.
He saw that Peng Yue had no intention of cooperating with him, and today's incident made him even more afraid, the ghost knew if Peng Yue would do it to himself when his mind was hot that day.
And he also secretly thought about his future, it is impossible to cling to Peng Yue, and it is even more impossible to be the first assistant of the cabinet Xia Yan, he has a good reputation and never forms a party, I am afraid it is even more difficult to make friends than Peng Yue.
However, it is impossible for him not to cling to a big tree, seeing that he is not happy now, Peng Yue suppresses it, and he is also full of bad deeds, if he is denounced by them one day, there is no personal protection in the court, and he will not die without a place to be buried?
After thinking about it, Qiu Luan hit the idea on Yan Song, who had lost power not long ago. With his keen political sense, Qiu Luan felt that Yan Song's big tree was reliable, and it was very easy to make friends with Yan Song, as long as he had money, it was enough.
"Thank you Lord Qiu for your kindness, but I can't abolish my public for personal reasons, I should rush back to Datong immediately...", Peng Yue smiled perfunctorily, how could he not see that Qiu Luan had no intention of retaining.
Peng Yue hurriedly said a few words to Qiu Luan in the camp tent, and then under the pretext that there were still some things to deal with, he went straight out of the camp with Yang Bo... (To be continued.) )
